Mixed Crushed Glass 1-3mm Metallic Chips for Resin and Nail Art - 50g

Mixed color crushed glass 1-3mm metallic chips that embed into resin, sit on nail art, and fill decorative craft projects with instant multicolour sparkle.

Each 50g pack contains irregular metallic glass chips in a mixed colour blend of pink, gold, blue, green, purple, red, and silver tones. The chips range from 1mm to 3mm in size and have a faceted, light-catching surface that reflects colour differently depending on angle and light. The finer 1-3mm size makes them especially suitable for detailed nail art work and thin resin layers where larger chips would look bulky.

Why Choose JustKraft

These crushed glass chips are packed at 50g to give you a usable quantity across multiple projects without the chips settling and compacting from overhandling. The mixed colour blend is consistent throughout the pack, so the colour ratio stays balanced whether you use the first handful or the last. The finer 1-3mm size works cleanly under nail top coats and in shallow resin layers without creating surface irregularities.

Pro Tips

When using in resin, sprinkle the chips onto the surface of partially cured resin rather than mixing them in fully, so the facets stay visible and face upward for maximum light reflection. For nail art, apply a thin layer of gel or nail glue first, press the chips in gently, then seal with a clear top coat to lock them in place and smooth any edges. Store the pack in a sealed container after opening to prevent moisture absorption.

Complete Your Setup

These crushed glass chips work best alongside clear epoxy resin or UV resin, silicone resin molds, a resin mixing cup and stir stick, nail gel top coat, and tweezers for precise placement. Pick up resin pigment powders and holographic glitter from JustKraft to layer effects and create more complex mixed media finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these real glass or acrylic?
A: These are real metallic glass chips. Handle with care during application and avoid direct contact with eyes. Use tweezers for precise placement rather than picking up large handfuls.

Q: Will these work in UV resin as well as epoxy resin?
A: Yes. They work in both UV resin and two-part epoxy resin. For UV resin, embed them before curing and ensure the layer is thin enough for the UV light to penetrate and cure fully.

Q: Do the colours stay vibrant after resin cures?
A: Yes. The metallic finish on the glass surface remains intact after resin cures. Clear resin enhances the sparkle by acting as a lens over each chip.

Q: How many nail sets can I do with one 50g pack?
A: For a full set of 10 nails with medium chip coverage, a 50g pack is sufficient for approximately 20 to 25 nail sets given the finer 1-3mm size allows more controlled application with less material per nail.

Q: Are they safe for skin contact in nail art?
A: Once sealed under a nail top coat, the chips are safe for wear. Always seal completely with a clear top coat to cover any edges before wearing on nails.
